Today is Migraine Day—Yippee!

As they say on the local news here in Central Illinois, "There's going to be some weather today."

The idea that weather only happens when whether is bad? Well, that's odd to me. Isn't there weather every day? When my husband and I moved here and first heard meteorologists talk like this, I scratched my head. It's been grating on my over-sensitive nerves for about three years now.

It's weird, right? It's not just me? Sunshine, poofy white clouds, blue skies—that's all weather too!

But sunshine eludes me today. A cold front is moving in, the sky is dark. And that brings me to the whole point of this post: rain and storms are my migraine triggers and good lawd, I am feeling it.

A migraine for me involves splitting pain above my eyes and across the lower back of my head from ear to ear. The pain radiates until my whole head and face throb, and then I start seeing the dreaded squiggle in my field of vision. Next, one of my arms will go numb for a while.

So that's what I'll be doing today. What are your plans?
